Sikora Rudolf

*17 April 1946 Žilina

He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (1963 – 1969). First time he presented himself in the Gallery of Youth in 1970. He is one of the most significant Slovak artists of the second half of 20th century, important representative of conceptualism. He created some visual – metaphoric parallels to base cosmologic questions. His main theme was human existence, not only relation of human to his own planet but also to all cosmos. Strong source of inspiration became “suprematizmus” - Malevič with who he has a long-term artist dialog.
